5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Hits the bullseye, Scriptural or not, Heavenly OR Earthly. And I bet NONE of those loud, brazen televangelists with their big empires and egos and TV shows take this kind of advice to heart (assuming they even HAVE a heart). I'd suspect not because none of the writers in the Bible had empires, designer clothes, or fancy ladies festooned in silks and jewelry. They were all financially poor like the Guy they kept writing about.

All the gods are one God. Humans have just given Him different names around the world. We should not go back to the centuries when Catholics killed Protestants and Protestants killed Catholics and Christians killed Jews (under Hitler) just because of small differences. that is why the founders put FREEDOM OF RELIGION in our Constitution!
